Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon water
5 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk
4 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Fill a baking dish half way with hot water for the water bath.
  • Heat sugar and water in a heavy-based saucepan over medium-low heat; constantly swirl the sugar mixture in the pan until sugar dissolves and turns into a golden-brown caramel syrup, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully, as sugar burns easily. Pour melted caramel into a shallow baking dish and gently tilt dish to coat the bottom with caramel.
  • Mix egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk, orange juice, and orange zest in a large oven-safe bowl; gently pour custard over caramel in baking dish. Cover the flan with foil to prevent a skin forming on top, if you like.
  • Set bowl into the water bath and bake in the preheated oven until until flan has set but still jiggles slightly when moved, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow flan to cool to room temperature, then remove foil, and place flan in the fridge to chill, about 2 hours.
  • Run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen from dish; turn flan onto a rimmed serving plate to release custard and let caramel sauce flow over the flan.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pint milk
2 egg yolks
3 tablespoons sugar (or Splenda equivalent)
2 oranges

  • In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch; slowly whisk in a little of the hot milk to temper the eggs.
  • Pour egg mixture into warm milk and stir constantly until thickened a bit (flan will thicken while it is chilling in the refrigerator).

FLAN DE NARANJA/ORANGE FLAN



Flan De Naranja/Orange Flan image

My (among other students) biggest issue with making the flan is over cooking. Flan is suppose to be a custard. When you over cook it the batter will start to cross over to the texture of a cake, with air holes etc. When checking for doneness, Chef (my instructor), said the custard should jiggle like jello not wave like water. I over cooked my maybe by 10 minutes so I would suggest to start checking around the 20-30 minute mark. I would also suggest using Grand Mariner instead of OJ, yumm. Discloser: Chef is from West Texas, born and raised. He is married to a Mexican woman and says this recipe is not the best flan recipe out there. Again I am just sharing my recipes from culinary school and maybe one day when I find the perfect flan recipe I'll add it.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup blanched almond
1/4 cup sugar
1 orange, zest of, Finely grated
4 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup orange juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 350 degrees.
  • Make Caramel, melt 1/2 cup sugar, water, lemon juice, cayenne over low heat 8-10 minutes without stirring. Gently tilt pan off heat to distribute color evenly as sugar caramelizes. When Sugar reaches a uniform color golden brown/light amber immediately remove from heat.
  • Pour caramel into 4 individual custard cups, tip the molds side to side until there is an even coating of caramel over the bottom and half up sides.
  • Grind almonds in food processor.
  • Add remaining sugar, zest, eggs. Process until smooth.
  • Add cream and OJ, process to mix.
  • Let the froth subside before pouring into cups.
  • Bake in water bath, covered until flan is set. Test by inserting blade of knife into the center of the custard. If it comes out clean -- done.
  • Set aside to cool before unmolding.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and aroma for the flan. If using store-bought orange juice, make sure it is 100% pure and not from concentrate.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: The zest of the oranges contains a lot of flavor, so be sure to zest them before juicing them. You can use a microplane grater or a vegetable peeler to zest the oranges.
  • Strain the custard mixture before cooking: This will help to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth custard.
  • Cook the custard mixture over low heat: Cooking the custard mixture over low heat will help to prevent it from curdling.
  • Stir the custard mixture constantly: Stirring the custard mixture constantly will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  • Let the flan cool completely before serving: This will help the flan to set properly.

Conclusion:

Flan de naranja is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a new and exciting dessert to try, I highly recommend flan de naranja. You won't be disappointed!
